One of the biggest challenges in the workplace today is attracting and retaining talent. Sikich’s HR Recruitment & Onboarding service fosters relationships and connects candidates to well-suited positions within complementary work environments and cultures.

Organizations seek individuals to engage, explore and invent better solutions for their clients. Individuals crave fulfillment, growth opportunity and empowerment for personal and career success. Sikich recruiting services connects the two by: providing its network with up-to-date, well-suited openings as they become available and sharing job opportunities through Social Media or email.

You don’t have to settle for what other companies are doing. There are many ways to take to the cloud, and we’ll help you find the one that helps you realize the outcomes you’re looking for.

Sikich has helped companies benefit from cloud technology since before cloud became a buzzword. We draw on an arsenal of best practices and practical approaches, using the cloud infrastructures and solutions that best fit your business.

The security and computing power of cloud resources are only getting better. It’s time you took advantage of it.

The financial and personal investment you have in your business should be leveraged and protected to provide you with the legacy, peace of mind, and financial freedom you desire. Business succession/exit planning provides a means to achieving your business and personal goals.

From determining who will be your successor to defining how much you will need to retire, and what is next for you – Sikich advisors will work with you to create an exit planning roadmap for every stage of the business lifecycle, to ensure maximized value and minimized taxes for abundant financial freedom.

There may come a time in the life of your company when it’s no longer in your interest to deal with software, servers, and other technology. Could it be now?

For several decades, Sikich has assisted companies in offloading tech chores, so they could focus better on serving customers and generating revenue. With our help, you produce better outcomes, without the distraction.

Sikich knows how to take your business beyond its current state. You can let us handle all of your IT, or just a high-priority part of it, like disaster recovery, virtualization, or strategic planning. Your call.

With the uncertainty and rapid reform often surrounding tax and accounting regulations in the U.S. and internationally, organizations rely heavily upon trusted advisors for financial guidance. Sikich prides itself on its proactive mindset and innate foresight that affords clients to face their unique challenges in the world today, and prepare for the possibilities that lie ahead.

Sikich’s level of expertise, thought leadership and senior involvement in the tax and accounting realm makes us a unique partner that can deliver confidence and solutions to ensure your financial stability and success.

While each company is different, your industry and markets present conditions that deeply affect your people, your customers, and the way you work. They may be out of your immediate control, but you can turn them to your advantage.

Sikich experts work with you to fine-tune business technology to fit industry-specific requirements. We work from a perspective of decades of experience and insight into emerging trends in industries, markets, and tech.

Our teams include former execs in some of the world’s most valuable industries as well as technology wizards who can expand the horizon of technology.

The practice of outsourcing finance and accounting functions continues to boom among companies seeking to streamline processes and drive efficiencies – whether that is within a department or across the company as a whole. Outsourced services typically deliver cost reductions within payroll accounting, accounts payable and accounts receivable, but companies are increasingly interested in moving from relatively basic transactional processes to more strategic functions, like budgets, forecasts and internal audits.

With Sikich, our Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) team consists of professionals who can lend expertise to make processes and technology run more efficiently through the simplification of sound financial and accounting processes – resulting in more information, more service and more cash.

When regulation and quality standards are increasingly stringent and malicious actors come up with new threats to your data and applications every day, it’s time to beef up security and streamline compliance.

Sikich teams are always abreast of evolving regulatory mandates that impact your industry. We also keep up with the trends and tools involved in protecting your digital assets from cyber criminals, attacks, theft, and corruption.

Security and compliance can be major resource drains. We help you realize both in the most economical manner possible.

Today’s ERP systems are a huge improvement over the monolithic product suites of the recent past. Sikich is at home in this territory and will make sure your ERP doesn’t hold you back.

With experience from many hundreds of successful deployments and a clear view of ERP providers’ roadmaps, Sikich collaborates with you to ensure a low-risk, economical, and efficient path to modern ERP. You’ll love the difference.
